Synopsis from Goodreads:
Sometimes a woman on the move…
Stumbles into murder.
Tulia Blake loves to travel, so when her relationship goes down the tubes and she wins the lottery all in the same day, she is determined to start living her dream.
Her first order of business is buying an RV with all the bells and whistles, and after hugging her mother goodbye, Tulia hooks her car to the back of the RV, packs up her African Grey parrot, Cicero, and hits the road.
Born and raised in Michigan, she decides to drive through the Upper Peninsula on her way to Wisconsin.
Everything goes according to plan until she reaches Marquette.
When she stops at a diner for pastries, someone steals her RV — along with her wallet, phone, and essentially everything that she owns.
While searching for clues, Tulia and one of the waitresses who works at the diner find the body of a well-known and largely disliked local in the dumpster.
No one is sure whether the two crimes are related, but it’s the only lead Tulia has to go on. She and the waitress work together to track down the killer in hopes that they can recover Tulia’s RV.
Can Tulia catch a killer and save her brand new RV? Or will her new fortune put her in the path of a killer?
My Review
It’s looking bleak for Tulia Blake after a messy breakup with her boyfriend, but things start to look up when she wins the lottery and is suddenly a millionaire. She is quick to make all her dreams come true. She leaves her waitressing job, buys a state-of-the-art RV and goes on the trip of a lifetime with her best buddy, an African Grey parrot named Cicero.
Tulia is from Michigan so that’s where she starts out with plans to end up in Wisconsin. Her first stop is at a diner, but things take a horrible turn when her RV and everything in it is stolen including her ID and money. A friendly waitress lends her a helping hand.
Tulia and her new friend are stunned to find a dead body in the dumpster near the diner. Tulia wonders if this has anything to do with her stolen RV. The investigation begins!
I really enjoyed this novella and my trip through Michigan. I had my suspicions on who the culprit was, but it fun going through the journey with Tulia and finding out how and why things happened. It’s the perfect short adventure. I loved Tulia and Cicero. A great sleuthing team.
